Summary of the invention
A mode of the present invention is optical article (optical element) manufacture method, has following steps:
(a) be formed at the ground floor of other layer of formation light transmission on optical element (forming the step of ground floor); And
(b) at least one composition that ion assisted deposition is selected from the group being made up of titanium, niobium, titanium oxide and niobium oxide, reduces the resistance (falling low-resistance step) of at least a portion on the top layer of ground floor thus,
Describedly fall at least a portion that low-resistance step comprises the top layer that makes described ground floor and become the step of titanium niobium oxide.
In addition, another mode of the present invention is optical article (optical element) manufacture method, has following steps:
(a) be formed at the ground floor of other layer of formation light transmission on optical element (forming the step of ground floor); And
(b) at least one composition that ion assisted deposition is selected from the group being made up of titanium, niobium, titanium oxide and niobium oxide, reduces the resistance (falling low-resistance step) of at least a portion on the top layer of ground floor thus,
Described ground floor is the layer that comprises titanium oxide,
Described the step that low-resistance step comprises ion assisted deposition niobium or niobium oxide falls.
In addition, another mode of the present invention is optical article (optical element) manufacture method, has following steps:
(a) be formed at the ground floor of other layer of formation light transmission on optical element (forming the step of ground floor); And
(b) at least one composition that ion assisted deposition is selected from the group being made up of titanium, niobium, titanium oxide and niobium oxide, reduces the resistance (falling low-resistance step) of at least a portion on the top layer of ground floor thus,
Described ground floor is the oxide skin(coating) of titaniferous and niobium not,
Describedly fall low-resistance step and comprise: after ion assisted deposition titanium or titanium oxide, the step of ion assisted deposition niobium or niobium oxide; Or after ion assisted deposition niobium or niobium oxide, the step of ion assisted deposition titanium or titanium oxide.
The inventor finds, at least one composition of selecting from the group being made up of titanium, niobium, titanium oxide and niobium oxide by ion assisted deposition, even if do not use thus pyroprocessing can reduce the resistance of at least a portion on the top layer of ground floor (film) yet., even if do not use pyroprocessing can utilize titanium-niobium system to give electric conductivity to ground floor yet.Therefore, using the so not high material of the thermotolerances such as glass lens in the optical article of base material, the composition of the ground floor (functional layer) by high refractive index layer for antireflection film etc., charged function and/or the electromagnetic wave shielding function of preventing can be provided, can provide the optical article with above-mentioned functions with low cost.
In addition, in this manufacture method, not only can not use pyroprocessing, and at least one one-tenth of selecting by ion assisted deposition assigns to change the surface (top layer) of ground floor from the group being made up of titanium, niobium, titanium oxide and niobium oxide, can give thus electric conductivity.Therefore, as ITO, can reduce the surperficial resistance of existing layer (ground floor), reach conductive layer to a certain degree without forming thickness.For example, can also reduce the resistance value (resistivity) of the layer (ground floor) that antireflection layer comprises, without the optical design that changes largely the antireflection layer being formed by multilayer.
Falling low-resistance step (above-mentioned (b) step) can think at least a portion on the top layer of ground floor by ion assisted deposition mixed with titanium, niobium and oxygen.In addition, fall low-resistance step (above-mentioned (b) step) and can think that at least a portion on the top layer that makes ground floor becomes titanium niobium oxide and do not use pyroprocessing.
In instructions, become titanium niobium oxide (titanium niobium oxide, TNOization) and be illustrated in doping or mixing niobium atom or niobium oxide in titanium oxide, or, doping or mixed with titanium atom or titanium oxide in niobium oxide, the resistance of observing titanium-niobium oxide system reduces.TNOization at least forms the Ti of anatase titanium dioxide in short-period scope 1-Xnb xo 2(TNO) crystal or the structure approaching with it, the resistance that result is observed titanium-niobium oxide system reduces.Disclose in the present invention following content: the TNOization that realizes the limited area on top layer by ion assisted deposition, do not use the process (pyroprocessing) that base material is remained on to several Baidu, by resistance be reduced to enough to use the thermotolerances such as eyeglass not the optical article of so high base material give the degree that prevents the function such as charged.
Another advantage of TNOization is that epitaxially grown TNO film is the transparency or approaches transparent.The top layer state of ground floor is because ion assisted deposition changes, and the absorption loss of light may increase.But a kind of composition (crystalline component) likely forming by ion assisted deposition is light transmission, therefore, by the surface of ground floor being carried out to ion assisted deposition, likely can suppresses light transmission and reduce.And the part of improving by ion assisted deposition roughly only limits to the top layer of ground floor.The light transmission that therefore, can further suppress the ground floor causing because of reduction resistance reduces.
Be the layer that comprises titanium oxide at ground floor, fall the step that low-resistance step (step of above-mentioned (b)) comprises ion assisted deposition niobium or its oxide.In addition, be the layer that comprises niobium oxide at ground floor, the step that low-resistance step (step of above-mentioned (b)) comprises ion assisted deposition titanium or its oxide is fallen.And, ground floor as comprise Zirconium oxide layer etc., in the situation of the not oxide (the not oxide skin(coating) of titaniferous and niobium) of titaniferous or niobium, the step of ion assisted deposition niobium or niobium oxide is fallen after low-resistance step (step of above-mentioned (b)) comprises ion assisted deposition titanium or titanium oxide.In addition, the oxide (the not oxide skin(coating) of titaniferous and niobium) that is not titaniferous or niobium at ground floor, the step of ion assisted deposition titanium or titanium oxide is fallen after low-resistance step (step of above-mentioned (b)) comprises ion assisted deposition niobium or niobium oxide.
The exemplary of ground floor is across hard conating or across prime coat and hard conating and the inorganic system of lamination or the antireflection layer of organic system on optical element.In the case of the antireflection layer of inorganic system, ground floor is typically the layer that comprises metal oxide.Ground floor can be any one deck of the antireflection layer of sandwich construction, can be also multiple layers.In which kind of situation, can reduce by application said method the resistance value (resistivity) of antireflection layer.
Like this, ground floor can be the layer that the antireflection layer of sandwich construction comprises.In this case, the method can also further have (c) on ground floor directly or form the step (forming the step of stain-proofing layer) of stain-proofing layers across other layers.Stain-proofing layer has water resistance, and the surface therefore with the optical article of stain-proofing layer can not keep airborne moisture.As a result, easily charged.By application said method, even there is the optical article of stain-proofing layer, also can prevent well charged.
There is the typical case ophthalmic lens in this way of the optical article of stain-proofing layer.In ophthalmic lens, often use glass lens base material as optical element.Said method is applicable to use the situation of glass lens base material as optical element, or optical article is the situation of ophthalmic lens.

3. the evaluation of the eyeglass sample producing by embodiment 1~9 and comparative example 1
For the eyeglass sample producing by above-described embodiment 1~9 and comparative example 1, measure the absorption loss of resistance and light.These measurement results (evaluation result) gather and illustrate in Fig. 7.
3.1 resistance
3.1.1 determinator and assay method
At Fig. 8 (A) with the situation of the surperficial resistance (surface resistance) of measuring each sample has been shown (B).In this example, making ring-shaped probe 61 contact measurement objects is the surperficial 10F of eyeglass sample 10, measures the resistance value of the surperficial 10F of eyeglass sample 10.The height opposing opposing rate Meter Ha イ レ ス タ UP MCP-HT450 type that determinator 60 uses Mitsubishi Chemical (Co., Ltd.) to manufacture.The ring-shaped probe 61 using is URS types, has two electrodes.The external diameter of exterior annular electrode 61a is 18mm, and internal diameter is 10mm, and the diameter of inner circular electrode 61b is 7mm.Between these electrodes, apply the voltage of 1000V~10V, the sheet resistance value of the each sample of instrumentation.
3.1.2 evaluation result
As shown in Figure 7, in the eyeglass sample that utilizes the method for comparative example 1 to form, the measured value of surface resistance is 1 × 10 13Ω.In the eyeglass sample that the method for utilizing embodiment 1~9 to record in order to reduce resistance forms, the measured value of surface resistance is reduced to 2 × 10 8Ω~8 × 10 9Ω.That is, known and existing sample comparison, the resistance value that the method for utilizing embodiment 1~9 to record has reduced the eyeglass sample of resistance reduces 4~5 (10 4~10 5) left and right.Resistance value can be 1/10 4~1/10 5.Therefore, known on the top layer of a layer that forms antireflection layer, at least one composition that ion assisted deposition is selected from the group being made up of titanium, niobium, titanium oxide and niobium oxide, can reduce surface resistance thus.
In these embodiment 1~9, at least one composition of selecting from the group being made up of titanium, niobium, titanium oxide and niobium oxide by ion assisted deposition is sneaked into titanium (Ti) atom, niobium (Nb) atom, oxygen (O) atom thus on top layer 33.For example, in embodiment 1 and 2, ion assisted deposition niobium oxide or metal niobium and even titanium oxide on the top layer 33 of the titanium oxide layer as the 6th layer of ground floor or the 4th layer, thus, the niobium of can thinking to adulterate in the top layer (skin section) 33 in titanium oxide layer, can think to form Ti-Nb-O layer or region at least a portion on top layer 33.And because the resistance on surface in above-mentioned evaluation result is minimized, therefore, in the Ti-Nb-O layer forming by ion assisted deposition or region, at least a portion of titanium becomes anatase titanium dioxide crystal or approaches the state of anatase titanium dioxide crystal, can think by TNOization.Therefore, keep base material without the high temperature with more than 300 degree, can be on the top layer 33 of titanium oxide layer or the part on top layer 33 of the 6th layer or the 4th layer, form Ti-Nb-O layer or region by ion assisted deposition, thus, can think at least to have formed TNO or the crystal state approaching with it in short-period scope.Therefore, be not suitable for the base material of pyroprocessing, for example, in the glass lens base material of this example, also can importing TNO at the borderline region on layer surface, can realize and reduce resistance by TNO.
In addition, this Ti-Nb-O layer or region are to form by the such method of ion assisted deposition Titanium, titanium oxide, metal niobium or niobium oxide on top layer 33, are different from the high refractive index layer that comes the titanium that lamination titanium-niobium potpourri forms-niobium system by evaporation.That is, the in the situation that of evaporation titanium-niobium potpourri, only however evaporation in high-temperature substrates and epitaxial growth just can not reduce resistance.Therefore for the existing high refractive index layer of titanium-niobium system, low-resistance report is not fallen.In the above embodiments 1 and 2, it not the potpourri of evaporation titanium-niobium, but a side of titanium or niobium is carried out to ion assisted deposition with respect to the opposing party's oxide, top layer 33 or its a part of titanium become anatase titanium dioxide thus, can think to have formed the TNO of electric conductivity.
Equally, in embodiment 3 and 4, on the top layer 33 of the niobium oxide layer of the 6th layer as ground floor, ion assisted deposition titanium oxide or Titanium and even niobium oxide, thus, can think the titanium that adulterated in the top layer of niobium oxide layer (skin section) 33, can think to have formed Ti-Nb-O layer or region at least a portion on top layer 33.As shown in embodiment 5~9, on the top layer 33 of the Zirconium oxide layer of the 6th layer as ground floor, ion assisted deposition titanium oxide or Titanium, niobium oxide or metal niobium, thus, can think to have formed Ti-Nb-O layer or region at least a portion on the top layer of Zirconium oxide layer (skin section) 33.And resistance is also minimized in these embodiments, can think not use pyroprocessing can make at least a portion TNOization on top layer 33.
By reducing the surface resistance of the optical articles such as eyeglass, cloche, can obtain several effects.Typical effect is to prevent charged and shielding electromagnetism.In spectacle lens, have or not the standard of charged preventive can think that resistance value is 1 × 10 11below Ω.In the time considering security in use etc., more preferably resistance value is 1 × 10 10below Ω.In the eyeglass sample that the method for recording by embodiment 1~embodiment 9 produces, it is 1 × 10 that any one eyeglass sample all has resistance value 10excellent charged preventive below Ω.In these embodiments, only process the top layer of a layer of the antireflection film of sandwich construction, just determined enough resistance and reduced, can increase hardly man-hour and reduce resistance.Certainly, also can process the top layer of multiple layers of the antireflection film of sandwich construction.
In addition, in the processing of top layer ion assisted deposition titanium, titanium oxide, niobium, niobium oxide, with high refractive index layer in order to form antireflection film and the processing of evaporation titanium oxide and niobium oxide is compared, something in common is more, therefore, almost can directly be suitable for the processing that forms antireflection film.In this, be the processing that can easily be used as the surface resistance that reduces the optical articles such as eyeglass in the processing of top layer ion assisted deposition titanium, titanium oxide, niobium, niobium oxide.
3.2 absorption loss
3.2.1 determinator and assay method
Next, measure the absorption loss of the light of each eyeglass sample.But if surface curvature, the absorption loss of light is difficult to measure.Therefore, use the base material (glass baseplate) 1 of glass manufacture, utilize the step same with eyeglass sample manufacture each embodiment for measuring the sample (glass sample) of optical absorption loss, measure absorption loss with glass sample.
The absorption loss of light is measured reflectivity and transmissivity with spectrophotometer, and (A) formula of utilization is calculated absorptivity.The spectrophotometer U-4100 that uses Hitachi to manufacture in mensuration.
Absorptivity (absorption loss)=100%-transmissivity-reflectivity (A)
The measurement result of the average light absorptivity of the wavelength 400~700nm of each glass sample has been shown in Fig. 7.
3.2.2 evaluation result
Can see, with respect to the glass sample of comparative example 1, the absorption loss of the glass sample producing by embodiment 1~embodiment 9 more or less increases.But maximum is also below 2%, light transmission is fully high, and the increase of optical absorption loss can not reach the degree of the light transmission of antireflection layer 3 being brought to considerable influence.Therefore, can be judged as the eyeglass sample that the method recorded by embodiment 1~embodiment 9 forms and there is enough light transmissions as spectacle lens.
On the top layer 33 of a layer that forms antireflection layer, at least one composition that ion assisted deposition is selected from the group being made up of titanium, niobium, titanium oxide and niobium oxide, the optical states on top layer 33 is upset thus, and optical absorption loss increases.On the other hand, in the present example, can think to form TNO in the part on top layer 33, TNO itself is the layer of transparent electric conductivity.Therefore, the absorption loss of known light less increases, and can reduce surperficial resistance and can bring impact to the optical property of optical article hardly.
3.3 comprehensive evaluation
Known by above each evaluation, the eyeglass sample that the method for recording by embodiment 1~embodiment 9 forms, be the optical article that surface resistance is reduced to degree enough with regard to preventing the objects such as charged and shielding electromagnetic wave, and optical property does not almost reduce.These eyeglass samples are because the cost of titanium and niobium is compared with the low and less problem that has resource exhaustion etc., and can realize reduction resistance with the lower material of toxicity, with respect to the eyeglass sample that uses ITO (it comprises costliness and can say the indium that resource is not enriched), industrially advantage is more.
And, in manufacture method provided by the invention, in the temperature that substantially does not need to improve base material aspect reduction resistance, be the above pyroprocessing of such 300 degree of transparency electrode without manufacturing titanium-niobium.Therefore, the present invention is applicable to the optical article that glass lens etc. comprises the base material that high temperature durability is lower.
In addition, reduce as mentioned above the resistance on the top layer of ground floor, but be not limited to this layer, even on this layer overlapping several layers, surperficial resistance value or resistivity also can be reduced.Therefore, fall low-resistance layer of the 4th layer or the 6th layer of 7 layers of structure that is not limited to 5 layers of structure, can be any one deck, and then also can reduce the resistance on the top layer of multiple layers.
In addition, the layer structure of the antireflection layer shown in above-described embodiment is only several examples, the invention is not restricted to these layer of structure.For example, also or 9 layer above antireflection layer following applicable to 3 layers, in this situation, fall low-resistance layer and are not limited to one deck.In addition, the combination of high refractive index layer and low-index layer is not limited to TiO 2/ SiO 2, Nb 2o 5/ SiO 2, ZrO 2/ SiO 2, can be also Ta 2o 5/ SiO 2, NdO 2/ SiO 2, HfO 2/ SiO 2, AL 2o 3/ SiO 2deng.Even these systems, the resistance on the top layer by any one deck of reduction described above, thus, also can reduce the resistance value of antireflection layer 3, improves electric conductivity.
